Hi,
I've got a piper 285 in my 1380, lovely cam, loads of curly whirlys and bananas too :)
However it says in the bible best not to use in anything below 1275cc....
Cheers,
Gavin :)

I put a 285 in a small bore once and it was rubbish. thw 256 is a good turbo cam.

see here http://www.kentcams.com/ stick 256 in the search and hey-presto you'll get the spec.

I would use a mild cam for a turbo, i use the kent 266 in a 1380 and its seems great so would also recommend the 256. Take advantage of the turbo set-up and have a nice tick over and smooth off boost driving, they still make the power:)
